Lillie Pearl, located in Richmond, Virginia, is a restaurant that offers a unique dining experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, creating a spacious environment with tall ceilings that surprisingly keeps noise levels down. The staff is welcoming and service can be prompt and efficient at times. The menu is a fusion of traditional flavors and modern twists, offering dishes that are sure to delight.
One of the standout dishes is the wings, which have a crispy exterior and succulent meat. They are glazed with a house-made sauce that is both sweet and tangy. The braised short ribs are another must-try, prepared perfectly, with meat that falls off the bone. Guests can also enjoy the chicken sandwich and beet salad, both noted for their good quality and generous portions.
For those who don't eat meat, Lillie Pearl offers a variety of vegetarian options, such as roasted heirloom baby carrots, fried brussel sprouts, and hand-cut fries. However, some reviewers mentioned that the vegetables can be overcooked. The food presentation is beautiful, and the flavors are bold and delicious, although some dishes may need improvement.
The pork belly and smoked chicken wings are also popular appetizers, though the rib egg roll received mixed reviews. The sea bass entree was considered excellent. The sides, such as greens and mac and cheese, are good, but there were comments on the mac and cheese being served too cold.
For dessert, the banana pudding remains a popular choice, while the peach cobbler bread pudding was described as overly sweet and overdone.
Overall, dining at Lillie Pearl is a mixed bag. While there are some standout dishes, such as the wings and short ribs, other offerings may not meet expectations. However, with its warm ambiance and unique menu, Lillie Pearl is worth a try, especially for those seeking a good drink selection and a vibrant atmosphere.
